In the backyard of the Morning Star Shop, the grandmother is now the living treasure of the family, and she looks happy every day.

I can't see at all that most of her life has had ups and downs.

Before middle age, her wife and eldest son were both there, and her daughter was not married, and before then, she was stable and happy.

After middle age, the unsatisfactory life of her daughter after marriage made her worry; Immediately afterwards, the wife who had been dependent on her for half her life also left her; Later, the eldest son went to fight for military service and has not been heard from for many years, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.

The old man also experienced the crisis of almost being paralyzed by a stroke, and only after getting it did he know the taste of loss.

Therefore, now I can have this kind of heavenly day, and I am full of joy and pleasure, except to go to the town for a walk every day, and then I ask everywhere if there is a girl from a good family, so that I can find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for my old son to come back and take care of the housework and pass on the family lineage.

The son is also not young, although he is learning to craft now, but the girls of good families are either set out early, or they are too young, and there are older girls who can marry and have children immediately, there are always various inappropriate reasons, and it is difficult to find a suitable one for a while.

In fact, I know that one of the craftsmen of the Morning Star Shop, which is now booming, wants to find a daughter-in-law, and is still a relative of the master of the shop, so there are still many people who like this family business.

He Xiaohu in this era when it is generally a good life to be full, there are three taels of silver money per month after completing his studies, even if he is a golden bachelor, even if he is an apprentice now, after all, there may be greater development in the future.

Now there are two girls that the old lady is optimistic about, one is a girl from a small family in the county, who is not bad, and I heard that there is a distant relative of the owner of a big shop, and her father is working under that relative.

There is also a girl who is exactly 16 years old and is from the river town, and her family background is not good, there are many children in the family, and she can't take care of the big ones but the small ones. She is also the eldest sister in the family in addition to the eldest brother, and both parents are there.

It's not like Donggou's hometown where she lives, and the girl with her younger siblings needs to rely on her to support her family. It's just for the small ones below, and there is a lot of bride price, and the girl's family let out a word, saying that they are willing to marry the girl only after five taels of silver.

The old lady inquired everywhere about the situation of the two girls, and her heart gradually favored the girl in that county, after all, the family background is okay, and there are relatives who have the ability to use it when they can help their son.

Early in the morning, the old lady called her daughter to help her check, and the matchmaker said that she would bring the girl and her mother to see each other today, and the two families would see how each other's children were, and if they were satisfied, they would marry as soon as possible, after all, He Xiaohu was 20 years old, and the man was anxious.

The carriage stopped at the door of the shop, and the man who immediately had a look of sight stepped forward to greet the guests who had disembarked, and then led the coachman to the side of the stable, where he parked the carriage.

A smiling matchmaker and a middle-aged woman got out of the car, and the last girl to come down should be the eldest in the family or something, otherwise the mother should not be so old.

After the girl got out of the car, she took her mother and followed the matchmaker, and the group of three was taken to the backyard hall by Jiajia, the girl squinted her eyes and looked at the shop in the huge bright hall, there were several waves of guests asking and talking with the shopkeeper, and there were all kinds of rattan arts in the bright atmosphere.

Entering the spacious backyard, I saw a plainly dressed woman waiting at the door to greet them, the girl was a little disdainful, this is this family's servant, dressed so ordinarily, that is, similar to the eldest cousin's family!

Before he could show his disdain, he heard the matchmaker enthusiastically introduce him in front of him: "This is the elder sister of the man He Xiaohu, Chen." ”

He turned his head to Chen and said, "This mother and daughter are the Du family, I told Mrs. He before that I would bring the mother and daughter over to see each other today." ”

"This is Miss Xiao Du, she looks so cute, come in and sit in the house." Chen greeted with a smile.

For her younger brother's family affairs, she was anxious, her family couldn't take care of her before, but now that the family has the conditions, she naturally has to hurry up and recruit a girl to pass the door.

led the matchmaker and Du's mother and daughter into the hall and sat down, and Chen introduced the old lady He who was sitting on the main seat to meet them.

Then I heard the matchmaker say: "Aunt He, you see this is the little girl of the Du family I told you last time, see that I didn't tell nonsense, Miss Du looks like a girl with red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, not only that, she is still a filial girl at home!" ”

When Du Shi saw that he praised her daughter, he said: "Yes, but filial piety, especially embroidery, what kind of pillows in your house, she will, definitely better than those."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the girl pulling her hand from under the table, and quickly shut up.

Miss Du secretly hated her mother for being a fool, how could she say it in front of others if she bragged casually at home, even if it was the truth, wasn't it also a slap in the face.

She glanced at the matchmaker, and asked the matchmaker to continue to talk about what the conditions were, and they were all discussed on the way here, and the matchmaker opened her mouth to ask Chen, who was a sister, what could she help with, and she couldn't marry her brother, just live in the backyard of this shop where people come and go, how troublesome it is!

Chen's eyes are not dizzy, she can see the eyebrows between several people clearly, and she can't help frowning secretly, it seems that it is a difficult person to get along with.

Sure enough, the matchmaker opened her mouth and said: "Aunt He, I said it when I came to the door last time I saw the conditions of the girl's house, and you also know it, now that this girl has also seen it, what do you think, do you want to discuss the conditions for marriage?" ”

Chen and his mother He glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, especially He, she is a lot older, and she has seen a lot of people and things, this girl doesn't look like a filial piety, she can only embroider?

She thought so and asked.

Miss Du couldn't boast about herself, and Du Shi was a little confused, so only the matchmaker spoke: "Oh, Aunt He, look at what you are talking about, what kind of work will your family do, you can embroider and move the needle and thread like Sister Chen, and give birth to a white fat boy for your old He family is a hero!" As for doing housework or something, just find a maid, where do you have to ask Miss Du to do it herself, I didn't hurt the white and tender jade hand. ”

This made the He mother and daughter surprised, did they say that they were looking for a young grandmother, what did they say? (To be continued.) )
